In Niles the housing is the oldest in the city — early-century cottages on small lots with detached garages built for cars that no longer exist. Openings are narrow, headers are low, and the framing has had a hundred years to settle, so low-headroom hardware and tracks trued to the real opening are routine rather than exceptional. Irvington and Centerville sit in between: older cores with post-war housing filled in around them, which means two completely different jobs can sit on the same street. Out toward Warm Springs and across the flats the stock is planned subdivision from the 1960s onward — square openings, standard sizes, consistent hardware, and failures that arrive on a predictable schedule.

Under Mission Peak the picture changes again. Mission San José has the largest homes in the city and the widest doors, and a wide door is far less forgiving than a standard double: a small error in track alignment shows up immediately as a shudder or a corner that lands early, and the extra weight puts real load through cables and springs. On those we weigh the door and size the hardware to it rather than assuming, because a wide custom door on springs chosen from the opening size is out of balance on every cycle.

The climate splits the city too. The western flats toward the bay get salt-laden damp that corrodes cables at their fittings; the eastern side against the hills runs hot and dry, which perishes seals and weatherstrip instead. Two houses in the same city genuinely wear out their hardware for opposite reasons. Wherever you are, the terms hold: a free written estimate before anything is touched, one flat rate whatever the day, full licensing and insurance, and workmanship backed in writing.
